Any characters in BG3 of lawful alignment at all ?

[123]

Everyone’s evil just about or shady , where are the holders of good the bastions of law and order in this game ? Why do the origin characters have to be so evil.

Tav can be good.

They aren't evil enough, particularly not lawful evil enough. Now go away, you're just a forum troll trying to farm points.

Not in the EA. Still, i find it quite refreshing, since it´s the perfect portrait of us humanity IRL. Selfish, dangerous, evil for the sake of it. I mean, if you truly want heroes, you are looking in the wrong place; Try again in your local cemetery.

Minsc is Neutral Good.

Halsin also should be good.

Alignment being removed as a hard requirement is one of the best things, your alignment is what you do, not some arbitrary spectrum you have to abide by. Your choices inform your surrounding instead. The same goes for the companions available so far, you can try to box them into a set alignment but most of them will deviate from it as their choices are their own, not triggered by some alignment stat. Even the more evil aligned companions have moments of kindness or soft spots that shine through, just like real people.

Larian also wanted to put the more shady characters up front for early access as they knew people wouldn't want to experience them otherwise in a lot of cases, so the good ones are coming in the full release while you have to actually see the evil ones as people and not just whatever alignment you assign to them.

That said... who cares? The alignments in 5e barely matter unless you're a Paladin.

Jaheira is Neutral Good, not True Neutral.

Jaheira has always been about 'preserving balance' in BG1 and BG2, which means true neutral.

Boo is Lawful Good.
We just don't know what laws he follows.
They are beyond our comprehension.

Did Harpers change that much in 5e that they allow anything other than True Neutral?

Hm....I don't know lol I based my answer on the old BG2, where peoples complained that Jaheira wasn't really a True Neutral and her alignement was changed in one of the Mod you could install to Neutral Good.

title says lawful, post says evil ...

[MeatGolem]

lawful does not equal good

Are you ok? https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Jaheira

yes, I know. But her alignement was based I think on the 2nd Edition, which mean her True Neutral is because she is a Druid. But personality wise? She feel like a Neutral Good alignement that is put in the Category of True Neutral due to her class.

That's why I said peoples complained (Years ago) about it, and in a Mod you can install for old BG2, change her alignement to how it feel from the restriction of back then.

Personal feelings, opinions and mods != what she was made to be.

That said, who knows what she's going to be in 5e since she renounced her Harper status back in BG2 (I think this where you confusion with her alignment may come from).

I'm not confused.

To me, she never felt like a True Neutral Character. So when someone added the change in a Mod, I was happy to use the Option.

Again, her Profile say 'True Neutral', so be it. Maybe they will change her alignement since D&D been Updated since BG2 came out. We will see...

Still just neutral. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Jaheira
Unless her alignment was changed for this game, I think she'll stay Neutral.

The writing will be the ultimate Test...in the end.

Jaheira seemed NG to a lot of people, myself included. But yes officially, and all that actually mattered, was that canonically and mechanically she was neutral.

There are no alignments in BG3 so it doesn't really matter.
